Bryan Singer (pictured) stirred up Twitter today with the big announcement of another X-MEN film titled X-MEN: APOCALYPSE, but he also quietly announced that he has shepherded production of THE TAKING, a Adam Robitel-directed thriller shot quietly in North Carolina this week. The film, written by Robitel (THE BLOODY BENDERS) and Gavin Heffernan (THE STEAKS), centers on the supernatural happenings in a small Southern community, reports Deadline. Well that's pretty vague…
Not much is known about this one at the moment but it could be something worthy of keeping our eyes on so we'll clue you folks in once we get more. THE TAKING will mark Robitel’s feature directing debut, a character-driven project that Singer produced through his Bad Hat Harry shingle. Jeff Rice is also a producer, and executive producers are Jason Taylor and Jonathan Stein, Lati Grobman and Christa Campbell, Rene Besson, Luke Daniels, Alex Cutler and Dana Guerin. Nu Image/Millennium Films is handling worldwide sales.
